17 players were called up by the French Federation to prepare for the EuroBasket U18, which will take place from July 22 to 30. Among the selected in the French team, some names already well known for their very interesting potential. We thus note the presence of Killian Malwaya, Illan Piétrus… but also Ilane Fibleuil.
The crack team. They will represent the nation and try to place it on the roof of Europe in just under two months. The U18s called up to prepare for the competition are known. If several names, like those mentioned above, are known, we note the absence of Zaccharie Risacher, called directly with the U19s. Remain with the under 18s – all the same – Malwaya, Pietrus and Fibleuil, who recently announced his signing from UCLA in Los Angeles, to finish his training course.

We also note the presence of crack Tidjane Salaun, resident of the Cholet Basket training center. He is accompanied by two of his club teammates, Amaël L’Étang and Djiguiba Traoré. For the rest, it is the Pôle France (INSEP) which provides most of the players. After some of the selected players obtained a frustrating bronze medal at the U17 World Cup in Spain last year, the objective of the French team is now to go for gold, with a generation full of talent. .
The competition will therefore take place from July 22 to 30 in Nis, Serbia. Before that, Frédéric Crapez’s group will take part in several events, such as internships at Temple sur Lot then at INSEP, before taking part in the Bellegarde tournament and then finally flying off to the Balkans.
